Description

About it:

The cluster of Pléiades, is associated to Aborigine Myth...

The 7 main stars represent the Napaljarri Sisters in the Dream Time legend. This story relates that the Seven Sisters were gathering food in the bush, when 2 hunters came to them...

The men were invited to share some food and drinks with the ladies, and they immediately fell in love.

The Sisters, realizing that the men wanted more than the food, started to run away toward the bush.The 2 men immediately followed in hot pursuit.

And today they can be seen chasing them through the night sky, destined to never catch them...
